Destination

North Jutland

The top of Denmark is an island, split from mainland Jutland by the enormous Limfjord. To the north, it juts dramatically out into sea on all sides. You’ll find that this isolation produces a very special light and more hours of sunshine than the rest of Denmark. The landscape is beautiful but harsh, with endless white beaches, sand dunes, cliffs, heathland and forests. Witness the bizarre sight of trees bending east from the sheer force of the prevailing wind or take a break from the wind around the sheltered straits, inlets and bays of the Limfjord.

A region of contrasts

North Jutland is dotted with picturesque holiday towns and fishing villages. It's also home to the multi-faceted northern city of Aalborg. Taste regional specialities and venture out into the unspoilt surroundings of North Jutland's holiday destinations.

Artistic heritage

Rich in Viking heritage and a favourite hang-out of Danish painters, North Jutland's cultural and historical offerings are many. Skagen has been a hub for culture in the region for centuries and Aalborg is full of galleries, museums, cafes and restaurants.

With water on every side and a maximum distance of 50km to the coast, North Jutland is all about beach life.
